EMPI pioneered in India a programme that addressed the globalization of business as India integrated with the world economy and global trade rose dramatically through the last 25 years. However, the process of globalization has witnessed along with the explosion of the Internet economy, the rise of e-commerce. India in the last few years has witnessed a surprising upsurge in e-commerce activities. These have come about because of a number of changes. Firstly, the success of local e-commerce companies have been based on Indian software capability to mix and match various technologies on the cheap. Secondly, the whole concept of electronic transactions being based on a legal structure designed for physical transactions with its attendant financial and consumer issues. Thirdly, there is the larger concern of international equity being used to depress prices to expand market share and bring valuation and fourthly, the security aspect of secure transactions over the wireless internet and finally a huge dearth of Management and skills to effectively manage the dramatic scaling up that is happening in the sector.
Jointly along with IBM, EMPI is restructuring its global business programme to bring in elements of e-commerce so as to make prospective students ready for this exploding field.
